APPLE OF HIS EYE

APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:6-10  Devotional:- “For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye” (v.8) NKJV      We need to know that God is so jealous of us and He wants to preserve us. Though we are living in a wicked world, God has His program to protect and preserve His children. It is only a wicked father who will not protect his own people when he possesses the ability to do so. And God is a good father. Whatever loss you have experienced in the past, this year will be a year of better experiences for you. It shall be peaceful and calm.

PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY

PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY

Ephesians 2:14-22
Devotional “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,” (v. 19)


    It is important you know that you are created for fellowship and formed for family. No one can fulfill the purpose of God alone. That is why God created a family for His children called the church. There will belong to one another forever [Rom 12:5]. Your earthly family cannot continue to care for you but God has made the church a place for each of us to find love for ever. 

Please know that the church is not a building it is a group of people who form the body of Christ. The church is an organism and not an organization. One of the first sign of backsliding is when people start to miss fellowship. Whenever we become careless about fellowship every other thing begins to slide too. The church is so important that Jesus had to die for Her [Ephesians 5:25].The church is called the bride of Christ and you can’t tell me you love me and hate my wife as some want to hate the church today [1 Pet. 2:17]

You need a church family that you might be identified with as         believer; you need a church family that you might move out of your isolation to learn and grow with others. Your maturity is tested in the fellowship. You need a church family to discover and deploy your gifts and talents. You need a church family to motivate you into evangelism which is the commandment of Jesus [Matthew 28:19-20]. You need a church family to keep you from backsliding [Hebrews 3:13]. Gods purpose for the church is to be a place of worship to help you focus on God; fellowship to help you face life’s problems, discipleship to help you fortify your faith for victory, ministry to help you fulfill your purpose, evangelism to help you fulfill your mission on earth. True church is a place of true love, help for each other and mercy for each other. 

PRAYER –Lord, help me not to be disconnected from your family.

“CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT A CHURCH IS LIKE A CHILD WITHOUT A FAMILY’’

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.
